Haven't read the study, but lipids can be changed by lipids in the diet. Things like increasing intake of pre-made foods after becoming ill could contribute to differences between patients and controls as sources of fat in these foods could be different than what is used when cooking onesself...

12 weeks sounds like a short timeframe. I'm assuming potential participants have normal (that is to say, low) intake of omega-3 fatty acids, so the first 4-8 weeks would be an increasing level of omega-3's in tissue and then only a month at saturation. Depending on dosage of course, which I am...

Sick leave in Norway has increasingly been caused by "unspecified fatigue", potentially being after effects of covid infection. https://www.nav.no/no/nav-og-samfunn/statistikk/sykefravar-statistikk/nyheter/korona-preger-fortsatt-sykefravaeret (In Norwegian)

A great opinion piece by associate professor in Naturfag (biology) at NTNU and previous science journalist at NRK (our national broadcaster) on the study: Media sviktar samfunnsrolle i studie om alternativ behandling The media fails to play a role in society in a study on alternative treatment...

Skiing star Tiril Eckhoff retires from skiing after not recovering from corona last year. Tiril Eckhoff legger opp

Yes. In Norway though pregnancy removes the requirement of a nutrition problem lasting "a substantial time" before one can get oral nutrient supplementation on prescription. So at least those guidelines are possible to point to here. It makes me so mad the whole thing. And thinking about the...

More Danish news, 2/3 of patients at the Århus Long Covid clinic is still experiencing symptoms after 1.5 years.

"17 out of 100 danes experience sequelae lasting up to 12 months* after covid infection" *Not sure if the survey ended after 12 months and this is just bad reporting.

A small telephone interview survey in Norway have found that 14% of people who have had covid have not recovered by one month. One in seven has long covid (short news story in Norwegian): En av sju sliter med langcovid

:D

The difference in tone between Steinkopf's and Vogts comments are huge. And Steinkopf is the activist :facepalm:

Interesting how they keep bringing up social support but then focus on working on the patients attitude. Another part of the article (not Reme's research) This third factor is obviously influenced by the two others (and prognosis, and safe economy, and if one have lost someone close to cancer ++).

A short chapter on LP, uses time to explain "the two sides" biomedical and biopsychosocial, gives twice or more space to BPS (which of course combines what the biomedical model says with "a broader view" and is thus better though they don't write it out). Just wow, way to go on not amplifying...

Eysenck called and thanked for keeping the spirit of his work alive o_O It's Silje Remes research group that is talked about in this article today on optimism and cancer operation outcome. "A number of studies have shown that optimism has a protective effect for cancer patients, both...

Nina was great! But it's so unfair that a pwME has to do this.

Update on my air hunger: Not a symptom I've had a lot of in the last few months. It's more or less gone (this has happened previously, f.ex. I had nocturia for a year and then it was just gone. Still have polyuria in PEM tho)

It's badly phrased, in both ana and aerobic respiration glucose is turned into pyruvate. Without oxygen the pyruvate ends up as lactate, with oxygen it can enter the Kreb's cycle.

As long as the researchers refuse to take part in such a dicussion, patients are getting nowhere. That's why I really enjoyed this part from Høgberg in the discussion yesterday, in reply to Reme saying everything is publicly available: "I can’t say I feel you are replying to the matter at hand...

Here is the translated transcript of the program for anyone interested :) It was a ~15 minute segment and turned into nearly five pages so there's a bit to get through.

We have a thread on breathlessness and air hunger in ME, where more of us report not getting enough air/at least feeling like we don't get enough air: Breathlessness and air hunger in ME/CFS
